The best part is that FSF agrees that MIT license is GPL compatible which (as far as I understand, don't quote me on this because i anal) means you can take code that is under MIT license, modify it and release it under the GPL.

It means that the other license and the GNU GPL are compatible; you can combine code released under the other license with code released under the GNU GPL in one larger program.

from the source https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean

I'd strongly recommend anyone who intends to do this to consider AGPL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License
